Man Utd still have a ‘slim chance’ of signing Marcos Reus

Manchester United were dealt what was thought to be a huge blow, as the highly-rated German winger Marco Reus signed a new deal at his beloved Borrusia Dortmund. Many clubs were thought to be chasing his signature in a cut-price deal this summer, but that isn’t the case anymore.

Louis van Gaal could still make a move for the 25-year old though, but according to the Daily Star, he’ll have to stump up £50million to sign him, rather than the £27million release clause that was in his previous contract.

My concern with Reus is his horrific injury record. He has struggled to keep fit for a prolonged period of time over the past couple of seasons, and do Manchester United really need another injury prone player on their books at this current time? Probably not.

Should United break the bank for Reus? Leave your thoughts in the comment box below.
